More Snow and More Bowling

Bitter cold and more snow hasn't stopped our bowling this week.  Monday saw the Raiders take on Shawnee Mission West (again) and Shawnee Mission Northwest.  We once again beat West but were defeated by Northwest.  Shelby had another rough day, bowling 162, 168, and 170 for a 500 series (167 avg).  She was disappointed but glad to have another victory over West.

Yesterday had us at Park Lanes bowling against Gardner/Edgerton and St. James Academy.  The Lady Raiders beat both teams and it was a better day for Shelby.  She was the top girl bowler, bowling 180, 170, and 178 for a 528 series (176 avg).  While still under her average, Shelby was pleased as those lanes are really quite odd.  It was wild to watch beautifully thrown balls hit the pocket perfectly and then stare at amazement when they ended up with a 7/10 split.  I actually witnessed one girl throw a ball so far off the pocket I was sure she would be lucky to pick up the 10 pin and then shook my head when she got a strike.  Very odd.  No picture of Shelby as I have stopped taking my camera as the two times I had it, she didn't bowl well (yes, I am somewhat superstitious).  Next up is the makeup meet against Shawnee Mission North and Sumner Academy on Friday.  It is at Mission Bowl in Mission where Shelby won the SM Tournament last year (she really likes to bowl there as a result).
